Ukhozi FM is a South African radio station broadcasting primarily in isiZulu, founded in 1960. It streams online alongside its FM signal and is consistently reported as the largest radio station in South Africa, and among the largest in Africa, by listenership.

It is owned and operated by the South African Broadcasting Corporation as one of its African-language public service stations.

It matters because its scale makes it one of the single most significant airplay outlets on the continent, particularly for Zulu-language and South African popular music.
